A.
ORGANIZATION AND ADMINISTRATION
The Mandate of the Minister and Department of Environment and Natural Resources is to
promote sustainable development through the management and protection of the quality,
diversity and abundance of natural resources and the integrity of the environment.
The following are core functions the Department executes in support of natural resource
management and protection of the environment:
Forest Management
The primary role of this division is to develop plans and promote the sustainable development of
forest resources and to provide forest fire management services including forest fire prevention,
detection, monitoring, situation assessment and fire suppression action.
The Forest Management Division (FMD) provides the policy, planning and regulatory
framework for the stewardship, protection and sustainable management of forest resources on 75
million hectares of land in the Northwest Territories, 18% of Canada's entire forested area.
Working with First Nations governments, communities, other governments and nongovernmental agencies on such a vast land mass presents unique and complex challenges for
forest managers.
The FMD co-ordinates and facilitates the implementation of forest management programs and
services among the five Administrative Regions of ENR. The Regional Offices have the primary
responsibility for delivery of programs. Regional staff implements forest resource and fire
management programs for the Department. Regional personnel receive applications for approval
to harvest, supervise harvesting activities, ensure compliance with standards, support community
protection planning efforts and carry out fire management activities under the direction of the
Forest Management Division.
Some Regions have been further divided into districts each with their own administration and
operation centre. Each Region and District is responsible for implementing the fire management
program at the field level within their own jurisdiction. The overall Territorial program
management including activities such as establishing policy guidelines and standards for the air
attack program falls under the jurisdiction of the Forest Management Division located in Fort
Smith.
Environment
This Division is responsible along with several federal agencies to ensure that release of
contaminants into the air, water and land are minimized and environmental impacts associated
with industrial and community development are assessed and minimized. The Division also
coordinates initiatives promoting energy awareness, energy alternatives and energy efficiency.
Their goal is to protect and enhance the environmental quality in the North. Departmental
programs are designed to control the discharge of contaminants and reduce their impacts on the
natural environment. This is a shared responsibility with Federal, Territorial, Aboriginal and
Municipal agencies as well as every resident of the Northwest Territories. Their goal is to
promote energy conservation and the use of energy efficient technology in the Northwest
Territories; identify and facilitate the development of alternative local energy sources which
strengthen community economies and promote and facilitate energy planning.
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES
Page 1
2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL
Wildlife Management
The role of this division is to develop plans and strategies in partnership with co-management
boards and Federal Departments to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of renewable
resources through training, income support programs, wildlife and habitat research and
compliance. The division also develops policies and implements initiatives for the establishment
and operation of protected areas in the NWT.
Water Resources
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) is responsible for the managing
water resources in the Mackenzie Valley and inland waters in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region
through the administration of the Waters Act and regulations.
B.
AIR ATTACK OPERATIONS
Territorial Air Attack Operations are controlled and coordinated through the Forest Management
Division, Aviation Services section. Preseason helicopter and air tanker contracts are arranged
for and distributed through Aviation Services. As there are very few roads in the NWT, almost
all wildland fires receive some form of air attack activity. Although long-term contract
helicopters and air tankers are assigned to a specific base of operations it should be remembered
that as an aircraft under contract to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources’ fire
program, you are a Territorial Resource. That is to say, you could be used anywhere in the
Northwest Territories even though you are assigned to a particular base.
Essentially you are under the “user authority” of the “Director, Forest Management” who has in
most cases delegated this authority to the Territorial Duty Officer, the Resource Officers, or in
the case of air tanker groups, the Air Attack Officer. With helicopters and in some cases fixed
wing aircraft on fires, the control will be delegated to the Incident Commander. The pilot will be
kept informed when this control is delegated or withdrawn. Bypassing of this person is not
acceptable unless problems arise.
Each Region is responsible for the management and utilization of its assigned aircraft within the
operational guidelines set out for forest fire management. Each Region is also expected to
request (and justify) additional aircraft as required though the Forest Management Division in
order to maintain resources for initial attack and ongoing wildland fire activities.
The management and operations of the Air Tanker Bases are the responsibility of the Forest
Management Division. When a tanker group is stationed at a base within the Region, that
Region’s Duty Officer has the authority to prioritize fires and dispatch the group at his/her
discretion. The group may not carry out Inter-Region dispatches unless approval has been
granted through the Forest Management Division.
The Air Attack Officers and Tanker Base personnel are part of the Forest Management
Division’s staff and as such come under the general supervision of the Manager, Aviation
Services. Once a group has been assigned a target and dispatched, the Air Attack Officer and his
or her group must become part of the Region or District team.

C.
COMMUNICATIONS
All pilots of aircraft operating under hire for Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) are
required to file a Flight Note/Plan with the appropriate Region/District Office, Base Camp and/or
Transport Canada (if after office hours or requested by ENR). A Flight Note/Plan must be filed
with Transport Canada if the ENR Regional Radio Operator is not available (off-season etc.).
1.
Flight Following/Flight Watch
Pilots on an ENR Flight/Note Plan will continuously monitor designated radio frequencies and
report their position every thirty (30) minutes. Reports should take place on intervals of every 30
minutes after take-off time.
IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PILOT TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A
PROPER FLIGHT WATCH WITH THE DISPATCH CENTRE TO WHICH THE
AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED.
When helicopters are assigned to a District/Region, assigned to or working on a wildland fire,
the District radio will remain open and have a competent Operator on duty until the aircraft has
landed and ceased operation for the day. The exception to this rule is through prior mutual
agreement with the District/Region Office and the pilot. Then, flight following may be
transferred from one station to another:
⇒ District to Region;
⇒ District to Fire (if aircraft terminates day at fire); or
⇒ District/Region to Transport Canada
The transferring station will ensure that the new flight watch transfer is established before
closing down operations AND that the pilot is aware of the transfer and in agreement.
2.
Loss of Radio Communications
It is the Department’s policy that loss of radio communications in any contracted or chartered
aircraft constitutes an unserviceable aircraft and is to be removed from services until the situation
is rectified.
Radio communications means an air-to-air capability (VHF-AM) and air-to-ground capability
(VHF-FM).
Please refer to Communications Directory (Appendix 12) for current frequencies.

D.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL OVER WILDLAND FIRES
The area over and surrounding a wildland fire is a Restricted Air Space, under Canadian
Aviation Regulation 601.15. This airspace restriction is defined as “over a forest fire area, or
over any area that is located within five nautical miles of a forest fire area at an altitude of less
than 3,000 feet AGL.” All flights between points within restricted airspace must be coordinated
in such a manner as to entirely remove any possibility of collision.
When Air Tankers are deployed on wildland fires, the Birddog pilot is charged with the
responsibility for control of air traffic over and in the immediate vicinity of the fire. In the
absences of a Birddog, this responsibility will be assumed by the Incident Commander or his/her
designate.
On dispatch, the Air Attack Officer will make contact with the Regional Office on the assigned
FM frequency and will remain so for the duration of the mission. ALL aircraft enroute to a
wildland fire will monitor 126.7 MHZ after clearing the airport control zone. Once an aircraft is
five miles back of the fire, contact must be made with the Birddog pilot for clearance into the
area on 122.05. All other aircraft will maintain communication on the air-to-air frequency
(122.05 MHZ). In the event the Incident Commander is on the ground, the assigned FM
frequency is to be utilized. The working Birddog aircraft will be on the dedicated primary
bombing frequency or assigned – 122.65 – primary/122.25 secondary. Additional (assigned)
bombing frequencies – 122.4 / 122.425 / 122.625 / 122.9 / 122.95 / 131.85.
While on the wildland fire, Air Tankers will use the bombing frequency for communication with
the Air Attack Officer. The Birddog pilot must be advised of and clear all other intended aircraft
movement in the zone (take offs, landings, altitude, direction, etc.) on 122.05 MHZ. On aircraft
other than tankers, only the pilot-in-command will communicate with the Birddog regarding air
traffic control.
The VHF-AM radios are only to be used by the aircraft pilots and their Air Attack Officer.
Passengers will use the VHF-FM radio (if available) for communications. Passengers will
announce their own call sign in conjunction with the aircraft identification when using the radio
(i.e. FT12 / F-ABC). Crew names or fire numbers will be used for these individuals.
The only exception to this policy occurs when working a wildland fire within controlled airspace
of a local airport. Aircraft operations carried out within these areas will be conducted in
conjunction with the local controller. Fire operations remain the same as areas out of controlled
airspace.

ticket/loadsheet is accurate and factual and will validate the flight ticket/loadsheet by his
or her signature.
G.
AIRTANKER AND AIR TANKER BASE OPERATIONS
1.
Air Tanker / Air Attack and Tanker Base operations are the responsibility of the Forest
Management Division. Aircraft and associated support staff will be positioned at InterRegion by fire load, hazard and risk. Once positioned at a base, Inter-Region/InterDistrict dispatches can be made directly to the group as required.
2.
All contact with an Air Tanker group will be via the Air Attack Officer in charge of that
group only.
3.
All requests for Air Tankers located/positioned outside the Region/District boundaries
must be channeled through the Forest Management Division (Territorial Duty Officer)
who will be responsible for actioning or denying the request.
4.
Once an Air Tanker group has been dispatched by the Forest Management Division
(Territorial Duty Officer) to a target or base changed to another Region, it may only be
cancelled or rerouted by the Forest Management Division (Territorial Duty Officer).
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES
Page 7
2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL
5.
When the Air Attack Officer and Air Tanker aircraft are over a wildland fire and no
ground authority (i.e. Incident Commander) is present, the Air Attack Officer is the
Incident Commander until their departure or an appointed Incident Commander assumes
the role.
6.
The Air Attack Officer is responsible for the safe operations of the Air Tanker group and
as such may remove the group from any wildland fire he or she deems hazardous to life
or property both to ground and/or aircraft crews.
7.
As Air Tankers are primarily an initial attack tool, initial attack on new wildland fires
shall take priority over support action on an ongoing fire with the exception where life or
property may be at stake.
8.
Air Tanker Group Alert System - Alerts for various tanker groups will be set by the
Territorial Duty Officer with input from the Region and District offices. Local Region
and District Officers may upgrade an individual alert to increase preparedness while
undertaking smoke patrols, possible smoke patrols and unforeseen thunder
shower/lightning activity. However, a local Region or District cannot lower the
established alert without the approval of the Territorial Duty Officer.
Resource Alert System – The Alert Status for all resources within each Region/District
will be set by respective Regional Duty Officer with the exception of Air Tanker Groups.
All resource alerts will be established by the respective Regional Duty Officer after
careful analysis of the most current:
⇒

AIRCRAFT SAFETY
1.
Unserviceable Radio Equipment
All aircraft employed on fire operations will have operative radio equipment capable of
communication with other aircraft, ground crews and Department base facilities (VHFAM, VHF-FM). No aircraft will be allowed on operations without radio communications.
Chartered aircraft without acceptable or serviceable radios will be considered
unserviceable.
2.
Unserviceable Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT)
All aircraft must be equipped with a serviceable 406 MHZ Emergency Locator
Transmitter (ELT). An unserviceable ELT will render the aircraft unserviceable for
operational use.
3.
Overload of Aircraft
Load Calculations will be completed before each loaded Initial Attack Operation for
rotary wing and before each loaded dispatch for fixed wing transport. Under no
circumstances will Department staff or aircrews overload an aircraft. The pilot is
responsible for securing internal loads so they do not block exits or shift in flight. The
pilot will be provided with the weights required to calculate weight and balance. The
pilot or a responsible aircraft company representative must be in attendance for loading
of the aircraft for safety reasons.
4.
Refueling
5.
(a)
Department personnel WILL NOT refuel aircraft.
(b)
During refueling operations, Department personnel will vacate the aircraft until
the refueling has been completed.
(c)
Hot refueling of rotary wing aircraft WILL NOT be allowed at any Department
of Environment and Natural Resources operated heliport facility. Department
personnel are NOT to be involved in any way in hot refueling operations away
from an Environment and Natural Resources’ facility.
(d)
Aircrews must ensure there is proper grounding and bonding of refueling
equipment.
(e)
Pilots may refuse refueling aircraft from any storage facility. Including unsealed,
improperly sealed, or aged drums. The Department WILL NOT use fuel that is
more than 12 months past the fill or recertification date.
Transporting Fuel

602.25 Entering or Leaving an Aircraft in Flight
(1)
No person shall enter or leave an aircraft in flight except with the permission of the
pilot-in-command of the aircraft.
(2)
No pilot-in-command of an aircraft shall permit a person to enter or leave the
aircraft during flight unless:
(a)
the person leaves for the purpose of making a parachute descent; or
(b)
the flight is authorized under Subpart 3, or the entering or leaving is permitted
in accordance with Section 702.19.
702.19 Entering or Leaving a Helicopter in Flight
For the purposes of paragraph 602.25 (2) (b), the pilot-in-command of a helicopter may
permit a person to enter or leave the helicopter in flight:
(a)
where:
(i) the helicopter is operated at a low hover;
(ii) the person is able to enter directly from or alight onto the supporting
surface;
(iii) the air operator is authorized to do so in its air operator certificate; and
(iv) the air operator complies with the Commercial Air Service Standards.
NO EMPLANING: Department employees WILL NOT emplane a helicopter while in
a hover unless it is considered an emergency. The Department will consider emplaning a
helicopter to be an emergency procedure, used only to evacuate employees that are in
immediate danger. Helicopter emplaning will be considered an aircraft incident and will
be reported as such.
Deplaning will only be conducted by trained personnel engaged in forest fire suppression
or specialized wildlife work who have received Department training. Department
personnel must receive training every season BEFORE hover exiting.
Deplaning from Hover can be done only during day VFR conditions while the helicopter
maintains a stabilized hover with a maximum skid height of FIVE feet above the
ground.

Air Crew and Aircraft Considerations
To ensure safety is not compromised by factors contributing to pilot fatigue, the following
guidelines will be followed provided they do not exceed the flight time limitations or flight
duty time limitations and rest periods as specified in the Air Carriers’ Operations
Specifications or Flight Operations Manual.
Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) Directorate has determined that the guidelines
below apply to all flying. The Superintendent or appropriate Director may approve
exceptions in accordance with the guidelines below. To be clearer, exceptions are
caused by events, i.e. emergency and are not planned.
These approved exceptions require a detailed explanation written on the applicable flight
ticket by the ENR representative.
a. Flight Duty Day: Aircrews working for the Department will be limited to fourteen
(14) hours of duty time in any one-day (24 consecutive hour period).
b. FLIGHT TIME: Air crews working for the Department will NOT fly more than
eight (8) hours in any 24 hour period (8 hours per day). The EIGHT-hour
maximum daily flight time will also include any non-Departmental flying. If a
pilot flies for another customer, the EIGHT-hour limit shall be reduced
accordingly.
For example:
If a pilot flies two (2) hours on another job, he/she will only be
allowed to fly six (6) hours for the Department during that 24
hour period.
c. Exceptions: When in extenuating circumstances, a need exists to exceed the flight
time and flight duty time limitations and rest periods as specified in the Commercial
Air Service Standards, it will be the pilot-in-command / Air Operators’ responsibility
to ensure that the necessary authorizations are obtained.
d. Rest Periods: For every four (4) hours of flying time; pilots must have a half-hour
rest period AWAY from the aircraft. This half-hour does NOT include aircraft
maintenance or refueling time.
e. Maintenance: Maintenance is an essential function for the safe operation of all
aircraft. Maintenance requirements vary greatly depending on aircraft type and
operator requirements. To ensure safety is not compromised by lack of, or the
inability to perform maintenance adequately, engineers are not to be separated from
their aircraft for any period longer than 24 consecutive hours. When in extenuating
circumstances, a need exists to exceed these limits, it is the responsibility of the user
to advise the pilot, engineer, and Regional Superintendent/Director, Forest
Management before the limits are exceeded. The Regional Superintendent/Director,
Forest Management may extend these limits only after all factors contributing to
aircraft safety have been considered and an agreement reached with the aircrew
concerned.

ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES
2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL
Food and Lodging: It is the responsibility of all Department staff involved in aircraft
operations to ensure the aircrew is provided with adequate accommodations and nutrition.
Accommodation for air crews should not be shared with other personnel, only with the
aircraft company’s crewmembers, or where required with other aircrew. Every effort is to
be made to provide or locate aircrew accommodations that ensure an atmosphere
conductive for sleep and relaxation. (Note: Aircrews, especially engineers’ hours of work
may differ from those of the general work place.)
The air crew will be expected to camp out at field locations and will require their own
sleeping bags and other accessories (cot/foam mattress, toiletries etc.). Accommodations
will be suitable for the site and season. Air crew are expected to have in their possession
adequate personal effects (sleeping bags, pillow, toiletries, medication, foam mattress
etc.) to work from remote locations. The Department will supply air crew with portable
sleeping cots and accommodations, this shall be suitable accommodations. This means a
single occupancy bedroom that is subject to a minimal level of noise, is well ventilated
and has facilities to control the levels of temperature and light or where such a bedroom
is not available, an accommodation that is suitable for the site and season is subject to a
minimal level of noise and provides adequate comfort and protection from the elements
as outlined in Canadian Air Regulations.
f. Rotations From Remote Bases: The positioning of air crews at remote Fire Attack
Bases, Base Camps, Staging Areas or Work Projects will only be for a short duration,
with a maximum 3 to 5 days before rotated out to a regional center or closest community
where commercial accommodations are provided. Determination of the application for
this rotation will be based upon the Regional Duty Officer’s evaluation of the following
factors:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
requirement of aircraft on site;
status of air crew fatigue and morale factors;
living conditions and facilities on site; and
location and availability of alternate resource.
These limitations are guidelines and may vary depending upon the situation. Aircrews
rotated out from a remote base must be relocated to a community or base location with
access to the following services and facilities:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
electrical and washing facilities for aircraft maintenance;
secure storage for aircraft equipment and spares;
commercial transportation for movement of spares and air crew personnel;
commercial or Department accommodation complete with beds, showers
and telephone access; and
laundry and incidental services.
The rotation period should NOT be LESS than 36 hours.

Incident Definition
All incidents involving Departmental use of aircraft will be reported immediately in a
confidential manner to the Director, Forest Management and the Manager, Aviation
Services.
An incident means an aviation occurrence, other than an accident, that
affects or could affect the safe operation of an aircraft.
Some examples of incidents are:
⇒ any illuminated warning lights at any time (chip lights etc.);
⇒ any aborted take-offs;
⇒ any problems with landings (flapless landings, etc.);
⇒ dropping a load during slinging operations;
⇒ unsecured items at landing sites including debris;
⇒ low fuel problems;
⇒ weather related problems;
⇒ helipad construction problems;
⇒ fuel pump failure;
⇒ engine starting problems;
⇒ unauthorized hover exiting;
⇒ loading/weight problems;
⇒ where an object comes in contact with an aircraft where contact was not intended or
is detrimental to the aircraft;
⇒ an deviation from standard operating procedures; or
⇒ dangerous goods unlawfully transported.
The above are just a few examples of incidents that must be reported for the following
reasons:
⇒ to monitor aircrew and passenger safety;
⇒ to monitor pilot fatigue;
⇒ to monitor individual aircraft capabilities;
⇒ to monitor various aircraft components (i.e., if several incidents were reported on
the dropping of water buckets, perhaps it might be a malfunction with the hook);
⇒ to detect any patterns or trends in the incidents and then take a preventative course
of action (this was one of the reasons for developing the Hover Exit Procedure
Manual);
⇒ to explain delays in departures/arrival; or
⇒ to identify what the Department needs to improve.

k) Passenger Name(s):
Sam Black, Jane Jones
l)
Nature of Incident/Occurrence: The aircraft was required to land on the cutlines as these were
the only suitable landing areas. Hover exits were not intended and both the pilot and the
passengers were instructed that hover exits would not be permitted. The pilot took the
necessary precautions before landing to ensure the landing site was suitable. As well, the
passengers were watching nearby trees to ensure clearance was adequate. The pilot adjusted
the aircraft slightly to his right just before touchdown and the machine went a little too far to the
right and the end tip of the main rotor clipped a black spruce tree, hitting the bark of the tree.
Nothing was felt during the landing but after shutting down a portion of bark was noticed
missing from a tree and the tie down strap at the end of the rotor blade was bent from the
impact. Another aircraft was ferried in to return the passengers to Hay River. The pilot tested
the blades by hovering and the machine operated normally, whereas it ferried to the highway
where engineers determined there was no damage to the rotor blade and the tie down clips
could be repaired with little effort.

Date of Incident: June 24, 2015
Software:
All aspects of XYZ Helicopters Ltd. flight operations are covered in the
class, referenced, or experienced in flight during the training period.
In the classroom, general discussion is encouraged and varies from class
to class. Annual incidents and accidents are de-sensitized and discussed
along with TC CADORS with all classes.
Specifically, confined areas and situational awareness are dealt with
during the "flight" phase of the training. Certain aspects of these items
would be discussed, if they were noted, as incidents/accidents in the
previous year as a weak area operationally.
All helicopter pilots receive confined area theory and practical training
constantly from the start of their career. It is one of the most
experienced aspects of a bush pilot's job. It is also one of those high risk
aspects of the job.
I would venture to say that as long as we are dealing with humans and
mother nature we will not eliminate this risk. We are constantly
modifying our recurrent training programs to mitigate this and other
risks of the job.
Hardware:
From the pilot's line of sight or view, in this particular aircraft, the pilot
does not have 360 degree visibility to see all external physical hazards.
The helicopter AS350 BA was equipped and met the standards of the
contract.
Environment:
Two environments here; the internal environment in the aircraft
between passenger and pilot and the external physical environment (the
landing zone). Lots of human factors happening within the internal
environment. The external environment (landing zone) could have been
modified by physically making it larger or by choosing another landing
area. The landing zone should be preplanned and approved in advance
of utilization. It is assumed that the traps would be monitored and the
helicopter would have to land again at least once again at this site.
The weather conditions on June 24 were excellent. The pilot was
requested to land on the Cameron Hills, which is an area that is difficult
to find a landing area. The pilot found a cutline and circled 3 times
before deciding to land.
Page 18
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES, AVIATION SERVICES
2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL
The pilot felt the area was large enough to accommodate the helicopter.
He hovered over the site and checked the left side clearance. The pilot
inadvertently moved the helicopter too far right and the main rotor
blades hit a Black Spruce tree.
He moved the helicopter a little to the left and landed. He then observed
that the tree bark had been skinned and the main rotor blades were bent.
Liveware:
(Other People)
Liveware:
(Pilot/Aircrew)
The pilot's decision to accept the landing area could have been
influenced by a natural desire to please the customer and carry out their
request.
The pilot is a very experienced pilot and has worked in many different
geographical areas. He has had annual recurrent flight training every
year during his career. He felt there was no question of fatigue because
the air crew has excellent accommodations and meals. He also felt flight
hours and duty days were not a factor. There has never been any
pressure from ENR in his role as the pilot. The customer was briefed on
the day of the occurrence and the usual preparations were made for the
job that day. He had accumulated 80 hours of flight time so far this year.
Observations and recommendations:
It is well known that it can be difficult to find a proper safe landing area
below the tree line. Initial attack crews have one power saw operator on
board which allows a hover exit. The power saw operator exits and cuts
out a pad suitable for the landing.
Trap landing sites and other project sites should possibly be treated the
same way. Especially if the landing site is going to be used time and
time again.
It would be prudent to have these project sites preplanned, prepared and
approved prior to the project start.

MANIFESTING
In the interests of safety, the pilot-in-command shall ensure that a manifest of all crewmembers
and passengers on board has been completed. A copy of this manifest shall remain at the point of
initial departure. Manifest changes will be left at subsequent points of departure when practical.
In those instances where multiple short flights will be made in a specific geographical area,
which involves frequent changes of passengers, a single manifest of all passengers involved may
be left with an appropriate person to preclude unreasonable administrative burden.
However, the Department will also maintain a passenger manifest. Each crewmember,
contractor, and Departmental staff will be assigned a number by their respective Regional Office.
This number will be utilized instead of first and last names. Each Regional Office will maintain a
master list of all their personnel with their assigned numbers. In a case of an Inter-Regional
dispatch, this list will be forwarded to the applicable Region. It will be the responsibility of an
assigned Departmental Representative (Crew Leader/Radio Operator) to ensure that a manifest is
recorded for each flight. In instances which involve frequent changes of passengers this manifest
MUST be updated. This manifest must be relayed to an appropriate Departmental Representative
on the ground (Radio Operator at a Base Camp/Regional Office/Fire Camp).
K.
WEATHER
Aviation weather is available from Flight Service stations in: Fort Smith, Yellowknife, Hay
River, Fort Simpson, Norman Wells, and Inuvik. In addition to this, complete coverage and
forecasts will be available from the Forest Management Division (867-872-7700) and at
Regional Offices on a daily basis during the summer months.
L.
GOVERNMENT VEHICLE POLICY
All Government vehicles, whether owned or rented by the Department, are restricted to use on
Government business. Government vehicles may ONLY be operated (driven) by Government
employees due to insurance restrictions. The Department disclaims any responsibility in cases of
any accident where the driver was not carrying out business for the Department.
M.
ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
The possession and/or consumption of alcoholic beverages and drugs in any aircraft, vehicle or
on any premise owned, occupied or under the control of the Department is strictly prohibited. As
ENR Camps and Fire Attack Bases are classified as Departmental premises, this policy will
apply to all locations. All personnel under employment, contract or on hire to the Department
will be made aware of this policy and adhere to it.

AIR CHARTER PURCHASE ORDERS
The Air Charter Purchase Orders are formal agreements between the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources and the Air Carrier.
When do short-term contracts start?
If a helicopter is hired from the location it is presently located and ferry time is agreed
upon by the Department, then the contract starts the “minute” the helicopter leaves in
order to ferry to or within the NWT.
This information can be obtained from the Air Charter Purchase Order under the
section “Point of Hire”.
If the helicopter company has a machine located elsewhere (Point A) but tells us they will be
positioned at some other point (Point B) within the NWT or some closer point and we agree to
hire them if they arrive at Point B by a certain time, then the contract will start only when the
helicopter arrives (and is ready to work) at Point B.
Note: If the helicopter arrived at Point B very late in the day, which would not allow flight
minimums to be flown off, then the contract would start the following morning OR
there would be no flight minimums for that day.
Also see “Point of Hire” on the Air Charter Purchase Order.
On the Air Charter Purchase Order see “Point of Release” to determine what locations we will
pay ferry time to when the helicopter is released at the end of the contract.
An example of an Air Charter Purchase Order is on the next page.

AIRCREW EXPENSES AND AIR CARRIER INVOICING
All aircraft crew must record their full daily expenses, meals, accommodations and transportation
in the “Crew Expenses” section of EACH Aircraft Loadsheet/Trip Log. Each Aircraft
Loadsheet/Trip Log must be approved and signed by a Department representative. Failure to
indicate the total daily aircrew expenses on the Aircraft Loadsheet/Trip Log will result in NO
reimbursement being made to the carrier.
THE GNWT CANNOT ACCEPT AND IS NOT LIABLE FOR THIRD PARTY BILLING.
CREW EXPENSES, SUCH AS ACCOMODATIONS OR VEHICLE RENTALS CANNOT
BE BILLED DIRECTLY TO THE GNWT.
Crew Expenses are reimbursable ONLY when indicated as such on the Air Charter Purchase
Order. Generally, they are reimbursable if the aircrew is away from home base or point of hire.
Meals
Aircrews will be responsible for paying their own meals and the aircraft company will invoice the
Department as per the current GNWT Duty Travel Rates (see Appendix #5) for each person on
site. No receipts are necessary for meals.
Aircrews MAY NOT claim for meals, incidentals or private accommodations while staying at
GNWT facilities, satellite bases or camps. Meals CANNOT be claimed if supplied by the
GNWT.
Incidentals may only be claimed if the contractor overnights in a place other than his or her home
base AND they may also be claimed on the last day of any contract longer than one day provided
the crew has been away from their home base. Where the return trip is made in one day, the
amount claimable shall be on the basis of meals only. Incidentals CANNOT be claimed for a
one-day trip.
Depending on the time of day the aircraft is hired, some meals may not be claimed. For instance,
on the first day of the contract, we expect not only the aircraft to be fuelled and ready to go but
the pilot as well. Therefore, on DAY 1 of the contract, BREAKFAST WILL NOT BE
CLAIMED.
Claims cannot be made for meals when the aircrew is at their home base within a reasonable time
frame (e.g. at home base by 16:30 hrs. -no claim for dinner can be made).
Reimbursement will NOT be provided when the DEPARTURE of the aircraft from home
base or point of hire is:
- for breakfast, expenses are not eligible for reimbursement
- for lunch, later than 13:00 hours
- for dinner, later than 18:30 hours
Reimbursement will NOT be provided when the ARRIVAL of the aircraft at home base or
point of release is:
- for breakfast, earlier than 07:30 hours;
- for lunch, earlier than 12:30 hours;
- for dinner, earlier than 18:30 hours

All aircrews are to use their proper names along with their respective company name when
reserving and/or paying for accommodations and rental vehicles. DO NOT use the GNWT or
the Department’s Name as you are NOT employed by the Government of Northwest Territories.
Aircrews will be responsible for paying their own accommodations/transportation and must
submit receipts to their company so the aircraft company can submit the receipts (excluding the
GST), along with respective flight tickets and invoice to the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
In the event of a sudden Base change where the aircrew pays accommodations at two locations,
an explanation must accompany the invoice and flight ticket.
Accommodations CANNOT be claimed for the day the aircraft is released. If unforeseen
circumstances arise where accommodations are necessary for the date of release, an explanation
must accompany the invoice and flight ticket.
Invoices for vehicle rentals, accommodations, and taxis MUST BE supported by a receipt with
the applicable dates listed.

Aircrews must ensure that all accommodation/transportation charges are recorded on the
appropriate flight ticket/aircraft loadsheet. Failure to comply with this guideline will result in NO
reimbursement to the air carrier.
Fuel
All fuel is supplied by the Department, either by the GNWT owned fuel system or by the air
carrier purchasing fuel and then invoicing the Department.
Rotary Wing Aircraft:
When a Rotary Wing Aircraft is hired, it is assumed that the aircraft is fuelled and ready to
go. We DO NOT pay for fuel AT the Point-of-Hire. We do pay/or provide fuel for the
ferry flight enroute to its base of operation FROM the Point-of-Hire. The Department will
also pay/or provide fuel for the ferry flight from the base of operations to the Point-ofRelease, and will top it up upon return to the Point-of-Release.
Fixed Wing Aircraft:
When a Fixed Wing Aircraft is hired, the fuel rate will be fixed on either a Mileage or
Hourly Rate, along with any applicable surcharges supported by receipts.
Air Tanker Aircraft:
For Air Tankers, the aircraft will arrive on base at the beginning of the season with fuel to
perform the first of the season’s missions. This is defined as four (4) hours of fuel that the
company would be responsible for. At the end of the season, the aircraft would be fuelled
by the Department to the four (4) hour level prior to leaving the base.
Invoices for fuel purchased or supplied by the aircraft company must be supported by a receipt.
Any fuel purchased or supplied by the air carrier has to be shown on the appropriate flight ticket/
aircraft loadsheet. Failure to comply with this guideline will result in no reimbursement being
made to the air carrier.
INCLUDE THE BATCH NUMBER OF THE DEPARTMENT’S FUEL ON THE DEPARTMENT’S
LOADSHEET/TRIP LOG.
Crew Change
Air carrier initiated crew changes will be paid by the air carrier. Crew expenses related to such
crew changes will be also be paid by the air carrier. Air crew changes requested by the GNWT
will be paid by the GNWT with the exception of unsatisfactory aircrew performance.
The carrier must advise the Forest Management Division, Aviation Services section of any crew
changes 48 hours in advance (see Appendix #15).
NO SUBSTITUTIONS FOR AIRCRAFT AND PILOTS WILL BE ACCEPTED

Daily Minimums
Aircraft hired on a casual basis, less than one day, ARE NOT compensated for daily minimums
unless the aircraft is booked as such or the accumulated waiting period charge exceeds the daily
minimum.
Aircraft hired on a short-term basis, more than one day, the daily minimums are averaged.
If prior to termination an aircraft is extended, the daily minimums for the aircraft will be
recalculated. This is based on the minimums that would have applied had the original air charter
purchase order (PO) included the period of the extension. The daily minimums are cumulative
over the life of the air charter purchase order, which includes all subsequent extensions.
For example:
If the daily minimums for the charter are 4.0 hours a day for the period of
May 01 to May 05, the guaranteed hours would be 20 hours.
(5 days x 4 hrs/day = 20 hours).
If the Air Charter Purchase Order were extended for another two days, then
the guaranteed hours would now be 28.
(5 days + 2 day extension x 4 hrs/day = 28 hours). The daily minimums are
averaged.
In the event of an unserviceable or unavailable aircraft, the daily minimum hours WILL NOT be
paid and no others charges or recoverable expenses including crew expenses will be considered.
An aircraft will be considered to be unavailable or unserviceable during any 24 hour
period commencing at 0700 hours, local time, when the aircraft cannot due to
mechanical failure of the said aircraft, inability of the crew to perform duties
including but not limited to where the crew has exceeded statutory flight and duty
time limitations, or failure of specialized equipment to complete contracted
assignments. Unserviceable ELT, radio equipment and accessories are to be
considered as rendering the aircraft unserviceable for operational use.
Other
Aircraft are normally released at a time of day that will allow depositioning to the Point-ofRelease (as noted on the Air Charter Purchase Order) on the same day. Additional expenses will
not be accepted or reimbursed should the aircrew or air carrier delay their departure and/or stay
overnight unless circumstances dictate or prior approval is given.
Air carriers are responsible for the transportation and costs of transportation for spare parts and
special equipment that is required to service the aircraft unless prior written approval has been
given. The air carrier must ship all freight directly to the air crew whenever possible.
Fire Suppression activities are EXEMPT FROM NAV CANADA CHARGES. Note the
instructions on the Purchase Order.
It is expected that all air carriers should deal with Northern Registered Companies for services
such as vehicles or hotels as opposed to fellow company employees or private citizens.

2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL
Invoicing
Each company invoice should reference ONLY ONE Air Charter Purchase Order number
(extensions included) and should state the correct Purchase Order number and aircraft
registration.
The rates shown on the Air Charter Purchase Order reflect the rates provided through the
Standing Offer Agreement (SOA) or Air Charter Request for Tender. These are the only rates
considered for reimbursement.
Unused minimums should be shown as a separate item on the invoice.
The Goods and/or Services purchased by the Government of the Northwest Territories are being
purchased with Crown Funds and are therefore not subject to the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
GST must be deducted from hotel bills, vehicle rentals, etc. that are submitted to the GNWT
for reimbursement.
Even though the Contractor will not charge G.S.T., the contractor may be eligible to receive input
tax credits with respect to any G.S.T. liability incurred by the Contractor in providing the property
and services if such a refund would be available in other circumstances.
It is the Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) policy NOT TO PAY any invoice
until it becomes due. Therefore, we cannot receive any invoice in our office before services have
been rendered.
It is RECOMMENDED that crew expenses be invoiced separately from the flight time charges
to ensure there are no delays in your company receiving payment.
Invoices for crew expenses must be supported by receipts (except meals) and should be separated
into individual days and by individual air charter purchase order numbers (extensions included).
When invoicing for Fixed Wing Aircraft (excluding Air Tankers), we will ONLY pay the rate
per mile for all Point-to-Point flights where the distances are measurable and we will pay the rate
per hour for flights or parts thereof where the flight distances are NOT measurable, such as
detection patrols or reconnaissance flights.
All invoices must be submitted to the Forest Management Division no more than thirty (30)
calendar days after the final release date on any air charter purchase order or long-term contract.
Send complete invoices to:
Forest Management Division
C/O Financial Shared Services
Government of the Northwest Territories

APPENDIX 10 – Standard Dispatch Format
2015 AIR CREW BRIEFING MANUAL
STANDARD DISPATCH FORMAT
After the engine has been started and the radio master turned on, the Initial Response Officer or
Crew Leader contacts base for the dispatch information. The information is given in this order:
1.
Fire #:
2.
Co-ordinates:
Latitude and longitude
3.
Bearing:
Magnetic bearing from your location
4.
Distance:
To be given in statues miles measured in a straight
line from your location
5.
Other Aircraft:
Other aircraft dispatched, their frequencies and call
signs.
6.
Remarks:

and their calls signs or other relevant information.
On the dispatch the Initial Response Officer or Crew Leader is given some critical pieces of
information.
To be certain that this information has been received correctly, the Initial Response Officer or
Crew Leader will read back this information to the dispatcher.
The dispatcher responds, “Read back correct”, if no errors have been made. Once the
dispatch has been received the Initial Response Officer or Crew Leader plots the fire on his/her
map, shows the pilot the location marked on the map and passes on the bearing and distance to
the pilot.
This is done as soon as possible so the pilot can inform the Flight Services Station of the
